Dynamic sequential scanning with table incrementation.
Dynamic sequential scanning with table incrementation is a method of rapid computed tomographic head scanning in which a complete 10-section scan can be made in 2 minutes 40 seconds or less. Although some measurable and visible loss of low-contrast resolution occurs, there is no loss of high-contrast resolution. Monthly throughput of patients has been increased by about 30% since this technique was instituted.
